    Nice!
    I am from Europe and in my family we never had greens. I grew up in former communist Yugoslavia, stood in line for milk and bread with my grandma, lived in socialist Germany for 15 years, moved to Greece for 3 years and back to Germany. Met my husband (military) and came to this absolutely amazing country. I arrived 4th of July 1998 - independence day indeed!!!
    I still have never eaten greens or grew them. My first year I am growing greens and this is very helpful as a starting point to me. Thank you 🙏🏻

    @magpier.5761 6 месяцев назад

    Nate!! My favorite greens recipe! Put some butter in the bottom of a hot skillet, once liquified immediately put in the prepared greens of your choosing (this recipe also works with Swiss chard). Toss the greens in the butter pan for about 10 seconds to coat then immediately drizzle liberally some sweet white Italian vinegar. Then cover immediately allowing the vinegar to STEAM the greens UNTIL they begin to visibly wilt. Then uncover and stir while the excess liquid evaporates off. The butter makes for a nice coating, and the vinegar adds real depth of flavor. (a variation of this recipe begins with scrambling some eggs, and once they're 80% done, begin this as a portion of that recipe. Once the greens wilt, remove lid and add some fresh parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, re-cover for 30 seconds or so to melt the cheese, uncover, stir, and serve). Best eggs ever.

    Collard greens are not something we seem to see a lot here is Australia but I have some seeds and we are just entering spring here, so I’m keen to try. Just wondering if I can use broccoli, cauliflower or cabbage out leaves instead? Thanks for all your wisdom, we are on 52 acres in a climate similar to California and are well on the way to our end goal of being self sufficient. We are raising beef, meat and egg chickens loads of veggies in a shade tunnel and netted raised beds, loads of fermenting for both our pantry and the soil health.

      sounds like you have a lovely homestead happening my friend!!!... the outer leaves of those plants are edible yes but they're nothing like these collard greens...

    Hello friends!
    Hey Nate! Just wanted to thank you again my friend for your wonderful videos. I will catch you live this saturday :)
    I asked you a question on your previous video about my JMS trial. I let my tap water sit out for 24 hours, and it was a success! I also made another batch with the Boogie Blue Plus water filter I told you about, and it also was a success! Although I missed my second batch when it was at its peak.
    Anyways, I wanted to ask you about the fermented cucumbers. I did a batch last week and when it came to try them, my first jar was not good, cucumbers tasted rotten, and then in my second jar, only the middle cucumbers were DELICIOUS and the others rotten. I tried another batch this week with 3 jars, I am on the 3rd day. I think my mistake last time was 1: Not exact to recipe, I improvised with jars I had that I dont think had airtight lids, and ratios were also different because of size
    2: I noticed multiple times my cucumbers floating above the surface.
    I wanted to ask you about this, as I have caught on to it this batch. How do I solve the issue of the cucumbers floating above the brine? Should I just pack tighter? And my hesitation with this is that my spears get really smooshed if I try to add more.
    Or should I use weights as I think you recommend for the tomatos?
    Thanks for your time brother, and I cant wait for all that you plan to do :)

      Definitely need to keep those cokes below the surface, or they go slimy. If you have fermentation weights, that's easy, but you can also use a zip baggie filled with brine, set in the top of your jar, to hold them under. (Fill with brine, so if the baggie leaks, it doesn't throw off your proportions). Yes, the percentage of salt in the brine is crucial. I weigh on a gram scale to make sure I'm getting it right.

    Fantastic video! About your rosemary bush: how did you start it, from seed? I find it very hard to start from seed. So I got some cuttings from grocery store. Now, what are you going to do with it in the winter?

      actually the rosemary is one of the few plants I purchase from the nursery as babies in the spring... then in about 2 weeks or so I'll cut it down at the base and hang upside down to dry and then use it all winter long!!... new plants each year

      Broccoli leaves are a good substitute. Delicious.

      Do you have amaranth? Calaloo, I think is one variety there. I bet it would be good with that.

    Do you think swiss chard would be good like this?

    • @gardenlikeaviking
      @gardenlikeaviking  4 месяца назад

      definitely except the only difference is you would cook it only for about 5 minutes instead of several hours.... the chard only needs a light boil in the broth

    I think your recipes have too many ingredients for people to make at home. That's just my opinion.

    • @gardenlikeaviking
      @gardenlikeaviking  9 месяцев назад +2

      ya that's because they're not really recipes they're more inspirational guidance... we never use recipes here and cooking from the garden is more done by "feel" and not a recipe... thats why I always emphasize to "use what you have available and tailor to your needs"
